Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Firefox and kernel panics.

OK.  Back to the original thread.

Here we go again.  Everything seems to work EXCEPT Firefox.  When I log 
into KDE, I can run Seamonkey, Kpat, Konqueror, Konsole, gkrellm and 
such but as soon as I start Firefox, it locks up tight.  Tight enough 
that the kernel panics and it resets since Neil informed me how to set 
that up.  Thanks Neil!

On Firefox, I have unmerged both nspluginwrapper & adobe-flash.  Still 
does the same.  I also tried the unstable version of Firefox 3 and even 
the unstable Firefox 4.  I don't think it is Firefox itself but 
something that Firefox accesses or loads up.  Keep in mind, when I 
upgraded Firefox it also pulled in new xulrunner packages as well.  Is 
there anything else I should unmerge?  Keep in mind, I can't open 
Firefox.  Should I try to run Firefox as root to see if it locks up then 
too?

So, what in the world is it that Firefox does that can cause a kernel 
panic?  Also, I can surf with both Seamonkey and Konqueror and 
everything works just fine.  It seems only Firefox, any version, is 
affected by this.

Now what?  I use Firefox to go to youtube and stuff to get music 
videos.  It just does better than Seamonkey for me.
